Removable singularities for a Sobolev space

Let Ω⊂RN be an open set and F a relatively closed subset of Ω. We show that if the (N−1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure of F is finite, then the spaces and coincide, that is, F is a removable singularity for . Here is the closure of in H¹(Ω) and H¹(Ω) denotes the first order Sobolev space. We also give a relative capacity criterium for this removability. The space is important for defining realizations of the Laplacian with Neumann and with Robin boundary conditions. For example, if the boundary of Ω has finite (N−1)-dimensional Hausdorff measure, then our results show that we may replace Ω by the better set (which is regular in topology), i.e., Neumann boundary conditions (respectively Robin boundary conditions) on Ω and on coincide.     

The asymptotic behaviour of solutions with blow-up at the boundary for semilinear elliptic problems

By constructing the comparison functions and the perturbed method, it is showed that any solution u∈C²(Ω) to the semilinear elliptic problems Δu=k(x)g(u), x∈Ω, u_|∂Ω=+∞ satisfies , where Ω is a bounded domain with smooth boundary in RN; , −2<σ, c₀>0, ; g∈C¹[0,∞), g?0 and is increasing on (0,∞), there exists ρ>0 such that , ∀ξ>0, , .     

Normal families of meromorphic functions with multiple zeros and poles

Let k be a positive integer with k?2 and let be a family of functions meromorphic on a domain D in , all of whose poles have multiplicity at least 3, and of whose zeros all have multiplicity at least k+1. Let a(z) be a function holomorphic on D, a(z)?0. Suppose that for each , f^(k)(z)≠a(z) for z∈D. Then is a normal family on D.

Systems of orthogonal polynomials arising from the modular j-function

Let be the polynomial whose zeros are the j-invariants of supersingular elliptic curves over . Generalizing a construction of Atkin described in a recent paper by Kaneko and Zagier (Computational Perspectives on Number Theory (Chicago, IL, 1995), AMS/IP 7 (1998) 97-126), we define an inner product on for every . Suppose a system of orthogonal polynomials {P_n,ψ(x)}_n=0^∞ with respect to exists. We prove that if n is sufficiently large and ψ(x)P_n,ψ(x) is p-integral, then over . Further, we obtain an interpretation of these orthogonal polynomials as a p-adic limit of polynomials associated to p-adic modular forms.     

Generalized vector valued almost periodic and ergodic distributions

Schwartz's almost periodic distributions are generalized to the case of Banach space valued distributions , and furthermore for a given arbitrary class A to for φ∈ test functions D(R,C)}. It is shown that this extension process is iteration complete, i.e. . Moreover the T from are characterized in various ways, also tempered distributions with P={X-valued functions of polynomial growth} are shown. Under suitable assumptions , , where for all h>0}, is defined with the corresponding extension of Mh. With an extension of the indefinite integral from to D^′(R,X) a distribution analogue to the Bohl-Bohr-Amerio-Kadets theorem on the almost periodicity of bounded indefinite integrals of almost periodic functions is obtained, also for almost automorphic, Levitan almost periodic and recurrent functions, similar for a result of Levitan concerning ergodic indefinite integrals. For many of the above results a new (Δ)-condition is needed, we show that it holds for most of the A needed in applications. Also an application to the study of asymptotic behavior of distribution solutions of neutral integro-differential-difference systems is given.     

Reflexivity and hyperreflexivity of operator spaces

In this paper, we show that if is an n-dimensional subspace of L(V) such that every nonzero transformation of has rank greater than or equal to 2n−1 then is algebraically reflexive. If is an n-dimensional subspace of B(H) such that every nonzero transformation of  has rank greater than or equal to 2n−1 then is hyperreflexive. We also consider how to construct some new hyperreflexive subspaces.     

Trace representation of weights on partial O-algebras

The purpose of this paper is to investigate when a weight ? on a partial O^∗-algebra is a trace weighted by a positive self-adjoint operator Ω, that is, whenever s.t. X†∈L(X) and ?(X†□X)<∞. It is shown that if contains the inverse N of a positive compact operator such that the weak multiplication N□N is defined, then every weight ? on satisfying ?(N□N)<∞ is a trace weighted by some positive trace operator.

Convergence in mean of some random Fourier series

For a symmetric stable process X(t,ω) with index α∈(1,2], f∈Lp[0,2π], p?α, and , we establish that the random Fourier-Stieltjes (RFS) series converges in the mean to the stochastic integral , where fβ is the fractional integral of order β of the function f for . Further it is proved that the RFS series is Abel summable to . Also we define fractional derivative of the sum of order β for an, An(ω) as above and . We have shown that the formal fractional derivative of the series of order β exists in the sense of mean.

Let , B and A_j () be real nonsingular n×n matrices, λ_k () be real numbers. In this paper we present a sufficient condition for the system to be a frame for . This sufficient condition also shows the stability of the system with respect to the perturbation of matrix dilation parameters and the perturbation of translation parameters .     

On the asymptotic stability of equilibrium

The classical criterion of asymptotic stability of the zero solution of equations x^′=f(t,x) is that there exists a positive definite function V which has infinitesimal upper bound such that is negative definite. In this paper we prove that if is bounded then the condition that is negative definite can be weakened and replaced by that and is negative definite.     

A remark on Ricceri's conjecture for a class of nonlinear eigenvalue problems

Consider the eigenvalue problem : −Δu=λf(x,u) in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a bounded smooth domain in RN. Denote by the set of all Carathéodory functions f:Ω×R→R such that for a.e. x∈Ω, f(x,⋅) is Lipschitzian with Lipschitz constant L, f(x,0)=0 and , and denote by (resp. ) the set of λ>0 such that has at least one nonzero classical (resp. weak) solution. Let λ₁ be the first eigenvalue for the Laplacian-Dirichlet problem. We prove that and . Our result is a positive answer to Ricceri's conjecture if use f(x,u) instead of f(u) in the conjecture.     

Additive Jordan isomorphisms of nest algebras on normed spaces

Let X be a real or complex Banach space. Let and be two nest algebras on X. Suppose that φ is an additive bijective mapping from onto such that φ(A²)=φ(A)² for every . Then φ is either a ring isomorphism or a ring anti-isomorphism. Moreover, if X is a real space or an infinite dimensional complex space, then there exists a continuous (conjugate) linear bijective mapping T such that either φ(A)=TAT⁻¹ for every or φ(A)=TA∗T−1 for every .
